Dermot Murnaghan is defecting to Sky News.

Head of Sky News, John Ryley said: “Dermot is, without doubt, one of the best broadcasters in Britain. Sky News is all about delivering up to the minute, insightful news in an innovative way and Dermot is a first class interviewer who handles breaking news and anchors set piece events effortlessly and intelligently. ”
